adjournment of the Legislature was SO
for noon to-day, but it did not tax.
place until two hours later. The hand.
of the clocks in both chambers were sci
back repeatedly and then stopped alto
gether. The morning had been devoted
to the hasty passing of bills, but soor
the necessity for this work ceased and
one recess was taken after another, until
the terminal details of the business oil
the session were completed at about
o'clock. The closing remarks were made
by the presiding officers.
In the senate Lieutenant. Governor Wa.
terman said: Senators, in obedience to
the authority given you by the constitu
tion of this state, you met on the third
of January, 1887, and have remained in
eession, not only the sixty days prescrib-
ed by law, but few days longer, receiv.
ing for this extra time no other compen.
cation than the satisfaction always at.
tending the performance of duty. ]
congratulate you on the harmony and
the; good will that has existed among
you during this session of the leg.
islat1re. In regard to myself, though
l have before expressed my graft.
tude to the members of this
body for their uniform kindness and
courtesy towards me, I wish to say once
more before parting that I truly have
felt and appreciated your kindness. In
returning to your homes, may you carry
with you pleasant recollections of your
associations in this senate, and may all
good be with you and yours. 1t is now
my duty to declare this twenty-seventh
session OF the senate of the State of CAL
ifornia adjourned sine die.
Speaker Jordan mentioned all that
could be said in praise of the
work of the legislature. Among other
things he said: ~ congratulate you
upon the labors of the session. Many
good and salutary laws have been
enacted by which the people of the state
will be benefited. The crying demand
of large section of the commonwealth
for laws regulating and legalizing the use
of water for irrigating purposes has for
the first time been gratitied by the pas
sage of measures which, in my judg.
ment, will add largely tn the general
prosperity of the country. We have the
satisfaction of knowing that we have
earnestly and conscientiously employed
our time while here, having, as
shown bv the journal. transacted more
business by one-third than any other
assembly that has sat in this chamber
during the history of this state. And
now our work being over, our associa.
tions as legislators ended, declare the
twenty. session of this branch of
the legislature of the State of California
adjourned sine die"
This session of the legislature cost
more than any previous session since
the adoption of the new constitution.
The expense of running this legislature
has been $2l ,077 per day.

AN AmIABLE PORkPACkER.
He Draws a Glowing Picture Of
California.


SAN Francisco, March l2.-Philip
Armour. the head of the great packing
firm of Armour & Co., of Chicago, who
is making tour of California. speaking
of this state, says: ~ gu seem to be
very prosperous in the city and state.
and the changes I observe siLce my last
visit, two years ago, are very marked.
This is particularly SO in the southern
part of the state, where the growth in
the time named is simply marvellous. I
could scarcely credit the report which
came to me, but I found that they were
rather short OF the truth than over.
drawn. With your magnificent winter
climate and facilities for travel there is
no doubt in my mind that this country
will continue to grow, and that thou.
sands who might otherwise seek homes
in the southern states would come to
California.
Snow the runnipg,time between Cali.
fornia and the east does not amount to
anything of moment and the fare is SO
low that anyone who can afford to travel
at all can come here just as well as go
to Florida, and our people have found it
out and are coming here by hundreds.
/ meet so many people from my own city
everywhere 1 go that l commence to
think that in few years you will have
all Chicago out on this coast.
"How do you think our climate COM
pares with that of Florida2" swell,
dent think it compares at all. 1t is SO
far superior to Florida in climate and in
all other respects, that it is out of range
of comparison. California, you see,
used to be such a long way from Chicago
and fare was so high that few persons
could afford the time or expense.

DREADED ANARCHY.
Mrs. Ncebe's Funeral Inspiring
Fears Of Tumult

CHICAGO. March l2.--Sheriff Matson
said to-day it had been decided to mot
permit Oscar Neebe to attend the funeral
of his wife tomorrow. 1t had been
decided by the authorities that the
presence of Neebe would only tend to
iucite disorder on the part of the anarch-
lists. Advice of the police department
are to the effect that fully 10000 people
who sympathize with the red Aig win
parade tomorrow, and that these people
once excited might commit some act
which might result in an outbreak, and
under the circumstances they have
decided not to complicate the matter by
having one of the condemned anarchists
in the crowd.

Work ON New Cruisers stopped.

WASHINGTON, March l2.--Pending
the decision of the attorney.general OF
the question as to whether the cruisers
Chicago, Atlanta and Boston can be
completed by the Navy department, in
view of the failure of congress to make
specific appropriation for the purpose,
all work on these vessels has been sus-
pended. The opinion is generally
entertained that such money as has been
appropriated for construction and re-
pairs should be used to finish the work
on these cruisers. At the beginning Of
the present month $50, 900 of this fund
remained available for meeting the re-
quire ments of tie various navy yards,
and it is believed that this sum, il
applied for the new cruisers. would
suffice to complete them.
